Capone ABOUT CAPONE CAPONE, is one of several new style action adventures that requires the agility and marksmanship of an action arcade game, but also gives the atmosphere of an adventure. The 20's in Chicago was a rough time. A time when gangsters rules the street, crime was a way of life and corruption was everywhere. Don't sit back and take it anymore, pick up your machine gun and blow'em away. As the adventure begins you find yourself back in the 20's. The streets are quiet. It seems a day like any other. As an undercover copy you have seen a lot of crime, too much crime. You hurry to catch a bus when a window shatters across the street. A gunshot rungs out and the pain in your leg tells you where the bullet hit. "It's one guy", you say to yourself. But as you look across the street at the house where the bullet came from you find you're in big trouble. Every member of the mob is there to get you. Resigning yourself to your desperate plight, you hurl yourself to a parked car for protection and start giving them a taste of their own medicine. And so the adventure begins...
